It's me Jason McIntyre, 3 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 2: Straight Lawyer or Tuesday, October the twenty eighth, and uh, 4 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: Rob G and I just were the idiots who stayed 5 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 2: up late as hell or early in the morning to 6 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: watch the longest World Series game ever. Unbelievable. I cannot 7 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 2: believe that that's how the game ended. It's one of 8 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: those like the game was phenomenal in the early innings, right, 9 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: I mean, tany going crazy, and then the game just 10 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 2: grinds to a halt in the extra innings. And I'm 11 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: not gonna lie, Rob, My kids were staying up. We 12 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: were kind of excited, Oh my god, tenthenning eleventh twelve 13 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: by like the fifteenth inning, I'm like, guys, this is it. 14 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: Well you got school tomorrow. Like I know, we were 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 2: all waiting to stay up for magic moment. But they're 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: just walking Otani every damn trip to the plate and 17 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: it just I don't know, Rob, I you know, my 18 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 2: head's kind of fried. Will talk Chiefs and who. 19 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 3: The hell did it? 20 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: Commanders? A little later in the show, I don't know 21 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 2: where you at after this marathon match, which you know, 22 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 2: the funniest joke I saw Rob was that the game 23 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: lasted so long that Otani's contract deferrals started to kick 24 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: in early Tuesday morning. 25 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 4: No, you know what I'll say, as I took a 26 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,279 Speaker 4: lot of grief from you and listeners of this podcast 27 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 4: maybe two months ago when I said, for my money, 28 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 4: major League Baseball is the best postseason in all of sports. 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 4: And I stood by that up until is it even 30 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 4: last night anymore? Because the game ended, you know, in Tuesday, Like, 31 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 4: at what point does major League Baseball step in and say, 32 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 4: you know what, guys, this isn't good for TV ratings 33 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 4: because you know, we're at closing out at three four 34 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 4: am before this game finishes Eastern time, which is where 35 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 4: most of our audience is. It's not good for the 36 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 4: fans in the stands because if you look, you know, 37 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 4: late maybe sorts of the fourteenth inning on, they were panning, 38 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 4: and it's like the enthusiasm was waning very quickly, especially 39 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 4: amongst the children. The players on both sides were basically 40 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 4: swinging for the fences, saying, let's just fucking finish this 41 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 4: because we want to get out of here. We got 42 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 4: to play again in fourteen hours and then and then 43 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 4: the umpire, which to me, he was like the star 44 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 4: of the show starting in like the eleventh inning. 45 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was. 46 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 4: Calling some of the most absurd strike calls I've ever seen. 47 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 4: He's like, dude, let's just get out of here, Like, 48 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 4: I'm over this. This isn't like, at what point does 49 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 4: baseball step in and say, hey, we need to do 50 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 4: something where we're not doing this anymore, where we're not 51 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 4: having eighteen inning marathons to end like this. 52 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, Obviously, the excitement of the you know, 53 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: the Freeman home run and is thrilling in the stateium 54 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: went Boggers. I get that, But at that point, rob 55 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: we're close to seven hours. 56 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 4: In, people were delirious, like they weren't like just happy 57 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 4: that they weren't happy that they it was over at 58 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 4: that point. 59 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, of course, you know, you've seen the 60 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: stat in a one to one series in the World 61 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 2: Series history, the winner of Game three wins it seventy 62 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 2: percent of the time. So obviously everybody likes the Dodgers now, 63 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: and they got Otani pitching in and yeah, that would 64 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 2: be Game. 65 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 4: Four in about twenty five minutes from now, right. 66 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Yamamoto, who briefly warmed up I think in 67 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: the seventeenth or sixteenth thingning. I remember seeing him. I 68 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: was like, what is happening here? Come on, he just 69 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: threw a complete game. Seriously, just just one of those 70 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: like I'm not going to really forget it. I don't 71 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: know if this counts as a core memory. I'll be honest. 72 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: I don't remember the Dodgers Red Sox game where Max 73 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: Munsey walked it off. Do you remember that? 74 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 4: I know now until they kept reminding us during the broadcast, like, hey, 75 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: don't forget Max Munsey and did the last longest game ever, 76 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 4: and then you know, nothing ever game of it. 77 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: This game just had a different feel the way Otani 78 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: was just so dialed in. You know, he was so 79 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: good that as he stepped to the plate and they 80 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 2: were like, you know, let's walk him, and then let's 81 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: walk him again. I think he reached base eight times 82 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: last time. I mean, yeah, that's insanity. And the game 83 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: was trending toward being amazing. I just thought it hit 84 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 2: like you're not going to see that in college football, 85 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: and and NBA is not going to go fifteen overtimes, 86 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: you know, right, I just it was a little bit much. 87 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: And I know the purest oh strategy, the chessbatch. You 88 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 2: gotta walk him, you know, Okay, fine, fair enough, Oh, 89 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,679 Speaker 2: let's keep walking him. But overall, I had some buddies 90 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 2: who were at the stadium. I don't know if their 91 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: phones died, but I stopped hearing from them, or maybe they. 92 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 3: Left out of embarrassment. 93 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: But like you know, a lot of kids were going 94 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: to the game, and it's like, I don't know, it 95 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 2: was just one of those very It just kept going 96 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: and going, a marathon game. But ultimately, I don't even know, Rob, 97 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: what is it. You're more of a baseball guy than 98 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 2: I am. Essentially, both both teams emptied every picture that 99 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: they had available. They were ready to go to position. Guys, 100 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: does anyone have an advantage going forward or both teams 101 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: just so drained that there's no advantage either way. 102 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 4: Well, that's the question, and you and I were talking 103 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 4: about it before we started recording. Is it's like the 104 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 4: fact that this went so long and all the arms 105 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 4: were used, all the bench players were used for Toronto, 106 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 4: It's like, does this now make the rest of the 107 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 4: series kind of fu bar because you're burned out through 108 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 4: all your dudes. 109 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: And. 110 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 4: It's just it's gonna get to a situation here for 111 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 4: Game four coming up later on on Tuesday, where God 112 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 4: forbid Otani can't give you five six innings, right, or 113 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 4: God forbid that the I think it's God. The Blue 114 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 4: Jays picture his name is Shane Bieber if he can't 115 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 4: give you five or six innings, Like, are we back 116 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 4: at it again? Where these relievers who all had to 117 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 4: go to twenty thirty forty pitches more than what they're 118 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 4: used to. Hey, I'm gonna need you to give me 119 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 4: another twenty pitches, like you're it's setting up to just 120 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 4: be a bad product. And you don't tell me that 121 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 4: it's drama because this is not like high level baseball 122 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 4: what we were watching in Game three at the end, 123 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 4: like it. 124 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 2: Was just guys were over agged. Yeah, even Klein barely 125 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: got out of the top of the seventeenth He had 126 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: a ball boys scraping dirt off his clean like. 127 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: That. 128 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: And now now you know in the aftermath, apparently Yamamoto 129 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 2: was legit ready to go in the nineteenth inning, Otani 130 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: like ran out and was like thank you for being 131 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: ready or something to that effect. But it's just one 132 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: of those wacky games. Definitely an all time I think 133 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 2: it was a classic, Like, I think there was so 134 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,119 Speaker 2: many good moments. Early guys thrown out at the plate, 135 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: guys thrown at third base, Otani. Obviously you had the 136 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: error from the right field Edmund who then ended up 137 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: coming up with a huge cannon of a throw. Like, 138 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: there was just so many awesome moments. It destroyed obviously 139 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 2: the football game. 140 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 4: No doubt it should have been a classic if it 141 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 4: ended like in ten, eleven, twelve. I think once it 142 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 4: got longer than that, it's like, all right this, I'm 143 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 4: over this game. 144 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 145 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 146 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,559 Speaker 1: the nation.

I didn't love as an eleven point 152 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 2: dog going for it twice on fourth down in the 153 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: first half when you know you could have, I don't know, 154 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: maybe kicked a field goal, got some points on the board. 155 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: Not great, I mean it was still zero zero at 156 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: the time, and you know, you could argue, well, they 157 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: weren't really in definite field goal range. I mean at 158 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: the forty it's you're looking at a fifty seven yard kick. 159 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: I mean, like, listen, this is a league right now 160 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: where anything over fifty is pretty much in play, right 161 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 2: And then the next time they came down they even 162 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 2: had less faith in the kicker from the Casey twenty eight. 163 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: I mean again, they are a field goal. It just 164 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: gets some points on the board. And I know it 165 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: doesn't mil what so who cares. It's just come on, Jason, 166 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 2: give me a break. I get it. Threes are not 167 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: beating mahomes. That being said, the Chiefs were clearly looking 168 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: ahead to Buffalo, Oh. Kansas City did not have their 169 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 2: their a game for most of the night. Then, of 170 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 2: course halftime comes, it's seven to seven. You're like, all right, washing, 171 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: it's kind of sort of got a chance here. Chiefs 172 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: come out third quarter, eight plays eighty yards, tudy, eight 173 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 2: plays seventy five yards, touchdown, and then we go to 174 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and you're down fourteen. So like you 175 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: had your shot, Casey came out and said, hey, let's 176 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 2: ring this one up quickly. Let's let's move on to Buffalo, 177 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: and that's pretty much what they did. I I'm fascinated 178 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: by the Bills Chiefs game. Remember the playoff game. Obviously, 179 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 2: Kansas City came out on top at home. In the 180 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 2: regular season. Josh Allen was the hero last year, made 181 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: an incredible run late in the game, and Buffalo won. 182 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: I just I don't know what to make of the Chiefs. 183 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: Do they have a great quote quarterback, yes, Do they 184 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 2: have a great coach? 185 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: Yes? 186 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 2: Was the offensive line great last night? I didn't think so. 187 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: I mean, Mahomes got hit a lot. Let's see quod 188 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 2: to the box score. They had Washington with seven quarterback hits. 189 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 2: Jacob Martin, a linebacker, was just terrorizing. He had two sacks. 190 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 2: I don't know. Mahomes was dropped three times. Now they 191 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 2: were down the left tackle Simmons, who's still dealing with 192 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: the personal matter. That team has not talked about it. 193 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: Nobody knows what it is. I don't know what he's 194 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 2: going through, his family's going through. Obviously it's significant because 195 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: he's been gone for a while now. But also I 196 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: believe Tray Smith, their guard, sat out, and as a result, 197 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: they really struggled to protect Mahomes. Eventually in the second half, 198 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 2: they got the run game going and we're fine. But 199 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 2: they faced a backup quarterback and like Marcus Mariota back 200 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 2: in the day, was solid. 201 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 3: If you need him for one start, could he deliver? 202 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: Sure? 203 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: I think we've stretched him a little thin here. I 204 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 2: think this is his third, second or third start of 205 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 2: the season. He was their leading rusher with twenty eight yards, 206 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 2: and other than a couple of really nice passes to 207 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 2: Terry McLaurin, it was basically just shit. Unload the ball quickly. 208 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: Jeremy McNichols, where are you? 209 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: You know? 210 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: Like, I don't know. Washington does not look like a 211 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 2: really good football team right now. They fight hard for Quinn, 212 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: but ultimately fall twenty eight to seven. If Daniels comes back, 213 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: sure they could maybe get back in the picture. They 214 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 2: got Sunday Night football this week hosting Seattle. Like Marcus 215 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 2: Mariota is not gonna have much of a chance against 216 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 2: the Seattle defense. It should be getting Weatherspoon and Julian 217 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 2: Love back in the secondary. So now you talk about 218 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: fall into three and six, that will be your fourth 219 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: loss in a row. I mean, they're just they're not 220 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: a good football team right now, especially with Marcus Mariota 221 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: at the helm. 222 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 3: And listen, we saw this with Stroud. 223 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 2: You know, some of these teams, it's tough to recapture 224 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 2: that magic the next year. As for Kansas City, you know, 225 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: everybody's all excited. Do you get the best team in 226 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: the league if you just want to lean on eight, 227 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 2: we got Patrick Mahomes. We're now five and three. Jim 228 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 2: Mack did not miss in the playoffs. You could say 229 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 2: all that, I'm gonna stand down and let you cook 230 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 2: as the as my kids like to say, cook, go 231 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: for it. Here's who they've beaten in this five of 232 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 2: six wins. Okay, they beat rookie No, no, no, dude, Jackson. 233 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 2: Dar wasn't even starting, right. That was Russell Wilson who's 234 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 2: been benched. Yeah, they said they beat Russell Wilson on 235 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: Satday Night Football. They beat a beat up Ravens team 236 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 2: in the game. Lamar got injured. 237 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 3: They lost to the Jags and Trevor. 238 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: Lawrence on Monday Night Football and a great game, I 239 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 2: mean Mahomes through they picked six that kind of flipped 240 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: the game. They beat the Detroit Lions at home. We 241 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: know the Lions are not the same team away from 242 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 2: the friendly confines of the Dome as they are outdoors. 243 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 2: And that was a game I was on. 244 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 3: I bet it. 245 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 2: You know, we talked about on the pod, like the Chiefs. 246 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 3: Or the side there. 247 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 2: So it's like, all right, And then the last two weeks, 248 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: maybe Gino Smith and the Raiders who were totally checked 249 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: out and ready to go on their buy and now 250 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: Marcus Mariota, and yes, it's you could only beat the 251 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 2: teams in front of you, and that's what they're doing. 252 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 2: And they're doing an impressive fashion, although this one in 253 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 2: twenty eight to seven, you know, I didn't think they 254 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: were overwhelmingly impressive. 255 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 3: Third quarter obviously, they came. 256 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: Out with a purpose and we're like, all right, guys, 257 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 2: we're gonna put this away against this JV team. So 258 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 2: the Chiefs, to me, the two best teams they've faced 259 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 2: at the time they faced them were the Chargers and Eagles, 260 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 2: and they lost both of them. Now, that was early 261 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 2: in the season. There was no Rashi Rice Worthy wasn't 262 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 2: playing like the Ravens weren't good when they beat them. 263 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: The Lions were good, but not great, and they were 264 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: in It was in Casey and I know you're gonna 265 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: think I'm making excuses. I'm not. This is the reality. Now, 266 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: they might go to Buffalo get the win. Then yes, 267 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 2: go ahead, stamp them number one team in the AFC. 268 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: I will rock with that. I will agree with you 269 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: if they beat Buffalo on the road. 270 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 3: Now, Buffalo's got their own problems. 271 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 2: As I saw that ed Oliver, they're great defensive man. 272 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 2: Let me not call him great, they're very good defensive tackle. 273 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 2: Sounds like he has a peck injury. Those are usually 274 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: season enders, and that would obviously be significant because ed 275 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: Oliver in the middle of that lineup is a formidable 276 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: run stopper. They will replace him with Diane Walker. I'm 277 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 2: not really familiar with his work. They have Boso, who's 278 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 2: having a good season. They have Rousseau, interesting replacement. Did 279 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 2: you guys see Shaq Thompson remember him from his Carolina 280 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 2: Panthers days. He has really come on strong the last 281 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 2: two weeks. And it looks like I mean again, I'm 282 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: it's tough to find a lot of data on this stuff, 283 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: but it appears as if they have benched Terrell Bernard, 284 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: the linebacker who was previously highly thought of and his 285 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 2: roles have gone down, his play snaps have gone down, 286 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 2: and so they're kind of shaking things up. We'll see again. 287 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: I don't think this defense is great. I'm not going 288 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 2: to read anything, just as I'm not reading into thirty 289 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 2: one nothing Chiefs over the Raiders, I'm not reading anything 290 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 2: into forty to nine Bills win at Carolina. Like, to me, 291 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 2: that means nothing. Andy Dalton, I don't care, you know, 292 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: and you could argue is Buffalo in that same category. Now? 293 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: They beat the Ravens on Opening night when everybody was 294 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: at full strength, So that's a different result than Ravens. Chiefs. 295 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: They smashed the Jets. They don't cover against the Dolphins. 296 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: Win. 297 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: They don't look impressive against the Saints, but win. The 298 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 2: loss to the Patriots was an island game and everybody 299 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 2: got off of them because of that. Then they followed 300 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: that up with another island game and they did not 301 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: look great against the Falcons. Back to back losses. It's like, oh, 302 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: forget the Bills. They get the buye. They seemingly get right. 303 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: They totally shut down the high powered Carolina run game. 304 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 2: And yes, Rico Daubtel and company have a high power 305 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 2: run game. 306 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 3: So that was impressive. 307 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: Obviously, this game will go a long way to determining 308 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: what's gonna happen, and not only the AFC, but the 309 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 2: MVP race. Again, if you guys could have noticed on 310 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 2: the herd, I'm totally getting sick of this whole MVP thing. 311 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 2: So two weeks ago was like Baker Mayfield, the MVP 312 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: just handed to him. Yeah, he hasn't done anything in 313 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: the last two weeks. Then it was uh Dak Prescott's 314 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 2: the MVP. Dak was terrible against the Broncos and they 315 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 2: lost certain for over half the game. So like, let's 316 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: just cease and desist with these nonsense MVP discussions, like 317 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 2: just say, yeah, he's playing the top ten level a 318 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 2: quarterback in the league. 319 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: Just say that. 320 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: I mean, Baker very good, Sam Donald very good. But 321 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: like MVP, it's gonna come down to games like this one. 322 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 2: The winner of this will have the inside track. If 323 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 2: if the Bills win, Alan has the inside track over Mahomes, 324 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 2: if Mahomes wins, Patrick Mahomes as the inside track. That's 325 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 2: just how it works. And usually it comes down to 326 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 2: very very late week fifteen, sixteen seventeen, whatever the big 327 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: game is that can swing playoff positioning. That's usually I'll 328 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 2: never forget the brock Perty when he was in line 329 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 2: bro he was there, and then I don't know if 330 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: it's like Christmas week, but he vomited all over himself 331 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 2: against the Night now against the Niners. With the Niners 332 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: against the Ravens, I'm pretty sure they lost. It might 333 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 2: have been Christmas night. They lost like forty five ten. 334 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: It was ridiculously bad and he was instantly removed from 335 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 2: the MVP race. Those are that and I. 336 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 3: Think, let me just call it up. 337 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 2: Forty nine ers Ravens. 338 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 3: I think, yeah, it was Christmas Day. 339 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: Oh man, the memory is not that bad, guys. So 340 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 2: it was December twenty fifth, Christmas twenty twenty three. 341 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 3: It wasn't quite the bloodbath I thought it was. 342 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 2: Baltimore was up thirty three to twelve before a late 343 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: garbage time touchdown. Yeah, that was the That was the game. 344 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: So Lamar had seven carries forty five yards through for 345 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 2: two fifty and two touchdowns. But brock Party had four 346 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 2: picks and. 347 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 3: That was one of those. 348 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 2: Oh well, see rock Party stinks and that's what the 349 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 2: that's what the unwashed masses do in those high leverage games, 350 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 2: So I think this is probably like at this game 351 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 2: you can officially say Mahomes versus Allen kicks off the 352 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 2: MVP chatter just humor me. 353 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 3: Let me see if there is. 354 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 2: So Christmas Day the Cowboys, Commanders, Lions, Vikings, Oh, Broncos Chiefs, 355 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 2: and that could. 356 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 3: Be another one. 357 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 2: If Mahomes at home, they're gonna get to win. Obviously 358 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 2: at home shows out maybe Mahomes. I don't think bo 359 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 2: Nix is going to be in the mix, but it 360 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 2: looks like December twenty seventh or twenty eighth. 361 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 3: I guess they could so flex. 362 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 2: It Ravens Packers for all we know. 363 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 3: That could be a Jordan Love. Can Jordan Love be the. 364 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 2: MVP if the Packers have the number one seed in 365 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 2: the NFC? Like, this is just how it is. Like 366 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 2: it comes down to very late in the season, huge 367 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 2: spotlight games, and that's often where someone can separate themselves. 368 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 369 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: the nation.

Very very interesting night in the Association. I'll 374 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 2: be brief. My seventy six ers, Can I call them that? 375 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 2: Can I? They look good again. They dispatched Orlando. It 376 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 2: was pretty impressive. I mean, Joel Embii didn't even play. 377 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 2: I'll just give you the point total. Tyrese Maxey forty three, 378 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 2: Edgecombe twenty six, Kelly Oubre who I don't even know 379 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 2: if is he that good? But I mean they're basically 380 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 2: run and jump and it's wild. I mean they started 381 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 2: Adam Bona and Jabari Walker, who I think is Samaki 382 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 2: Walker's little guy, younger son. They're gonna be dangerous, the 383 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 2: Sixers are when they get their dudes back. My Rockets 384 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 2: with a nice one over Brooklyn. I gotta say, I 385 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 2: think Brooklyn's probably the worst team in the league. I mean, 386 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 2: they're starting Ben Seraff what. I don't know what they're 387 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: doing with their bench. A lot of guys, you guys 388 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 2: know my college hoops junkie, I've never heard of some 389 00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 2: of these guys. Tyrese Martin, like what I mean, I 390 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 2: don't really know what's going on the Brooklyn Nets. I 391 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: know they want Giannest, but you guys aren't getting honest, 392 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 2: that's for sure. And then there was one other result. 393 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: Oh did Dallas. No, Dallas lost again. Dallas is just 394 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 2: they're not that good and Kyrie's not coming back anytime soon. 395 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, guys, I don't think that this 396 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks team is very good, and I think they 397 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 2: may have problems getting to the playoffs. That's how loaded 398 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 2: the West is. My guy, Wemby pushes to four and 399 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: oh San Antonio wallops Toronto. I mean Wembin Yama appointment viewing. 400 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 2: He had twenty five fifteen, only one block, didn't play 401 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 2: as heavy minutes, He only played thirty one minutes because 402 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 2: this game was pretty much a blowout. Now, Stefan Castle 403 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 2: is a spectacular young player. We like him. And then, 404 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 2: of course you know the Lakers. They ran out of 405 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 2: gas on a back to back against Portland. That's a 406 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 2: tough one. After Austin Reeves was so tremendous against the Kings, 407 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: you knew that would be impossible to duplicate. Gave Vincent's 408 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 2: now down for two or three weeks. So you got 409 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 2: no Vincent, no Lebron no Luca. I mean this was 410 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: Bronnie minute, Bronnie James playing fifteen minutes. You know Dalton 411 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 2: connect playing heavy minutes and like they just had nothing 412 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 2: from their bench. That's a tough one. This could actually 413 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 2: be a tough week for the Lakers. Let's not read 414 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 2: too much into it. I know all the haters out 415 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 2: there want to bash the Lakers, but just settle down. Okay, 416 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: They're gonna be fine. Back tomorrow. Talk to you then.
